A Touch of Snow by kannafoot

A Touch of Snow

We received about six inches of snow overnight. It was wet enough to cling to trees and railings despite very stiff wind gusts. I decided to try for a photo at the Roger Williams National Memorial, and was pleased to find the scene you see before you. The fence encloses the original water source - a spring - of the Providence settlement under Roger Williams. The large church in the background is the Episcopal Cathedral of Saint John which closed last February.

Post processing started with a classic filter with grain in Topaz B&W FX. (I used the grain option to add a bit of texture to the sky.) I then adjusted the color sensitivity sliders followed by adaptive exposure, contrast, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights. In PSE I added a levels adjustment followed by a brightness and contrast adjustment. A sepia photo filter is the top layer.
Wow this is pretty! Nice shot! :)
